So, in an attempt to broaden my horizons a little, I thought to play some games made by developers from countries other than the US and Japan. Detention was super good, so next up is DreadOut which was made by an Indonesian studio.

Right off the bat here, the lack of budget is evident in the animation and some of programming, The main character doesn't control very well and if it weren't for the smartphones this game could be mistaken for being from the early 2000's.

HOWEVER, I had a great time with this game. It's very inspired by Fatal Frame, but the ghosts are completely new to me. I really want to find out more about this mythology. The Ghostpedia was super cool.

I wouldn't really recommend it on a gameplay level, but if you want something kind of different from your usual horror and unique monster design, you should give it a go.

It also made me yell: "Give me back my phone, you stupid demon-baby!"

Warnings include: Obql ubeebe, whzc fpnerf, rkgrafvir gnyx bs zvfpneevntr/vasnag qrngu, zragvbaf bs encr, genafcubovn, cbffrffvba, fbzr perrcl znyr tnmr fghss jvgu gur znva punenpgre, ivbyrapr, tber, naq vafrpgf.

Any recommendations for games made outside the US/Japan are welcome.

Alerting/Waiting/Flailing Post for Mark Watches Videos (for February 20 - 24 episodes)



This is where Mark lets us know when the new videos are up (they're usually uploaded all at once). Please do not try to buy a new episode until he posts here (or on Twitter) to say there's something new ready to download. SERIOUSLY.

Link exchanges and donations take place on the Black Market post. Below are links to the store page for each show (just click on the show title), plus a list of the episodes that we expect to be uploaded for the week.

STAR TREK: DS9
7x13
7x14

STAR TREK: VOYAGER
5x14
5x15
5x16

STEVEN UNIVERSE
4x12
4x13
4x14
4x15
(Err, I'm not sure what happens at this point, since 4x16 apparently doesn't air until this Friday? And at that point, he'll be caught up, watching in real time? Does that mean Gargoyles starts next week?)

Music Thread?

I ran across this old gem from my school days. It has a ton of triggers (heights, fire, flashing lights, suicide) and the lyrics have more (alcoholism, rape, drugs), but the song and animation hold up.

So I just (finally) saw Arrival for the second time. And I have more to talk about.

Plactus Reads A Song of Ice and Fire: A Dance With Dragons
...and Watches Game of Thrones Season 3

Here we go, the last book in the series, at least for now, and I doubt The Winds of Winter will be out before I finish. (I plan to finish this book in 3-4 weeks, and I think we'd have more notice than that.) I hope to keep my standard ~60 pages/day pace, but the text in this book looks smaller than the others, so I may cut that back if it's too much.

I'm still on Game of Thrones season 3.

Spoilers will generally be unciphered through what I've read/watched. Nun, etc. away.

TW: To be on the safe side, assume any triggers related to blood/gore/injuries, war/violence/death, slavery, misogyny, and sex (in particular, incest and rape/consent issues). Anything that needs mention beyond that will get a specific warning.

I considered putting this under the Action/Support Thread, but I think what I'm about to link to deserves its own post, just to make sure a lot of ppl see it.

Humble Bundle just put out a "freedom" Humble Bundle for purchase. Unlike previous bundles, they are requiring a $30 minimum (where previous you could just donate what you wanted), but you get a RIDICULOUS number of games. And more importantly...

...ALL proceeds go to the International Rescue Committee, Doctors Without Borders, and the ACLU.

Freedom bundle indeed. Check it out.

Not sure if there's any other McElroy trash around here, but the first episode of the My Brother My Brother and Me TV show just dropped and it's amazing. Content warning: the first episode is all about tarantulas. I'm a huge arachnophobe but I was able to power through it, but your mileage may vary.

I know it's a bit late in the week to start this kind of thread, but... where is your name from? Your IntenseDebate name, I mean. What's its origin?

To anyone else in the Southern California area, stay safe and dry these next 24 hours. :)

I went out and bought sandbags, just in case, because of the near flooding with the last rainstorm.
